A beloved multidisciplinary treatise comes to Penguin Classics

Since its initial publication in 1958, The Poetics of Space has been a muse to philosophers, architects, writers, psychologists, critics, and readers alike. The rare work of irresistibly inviting philosophy, Bachelard's seminal work brims with quiet revelations and stirring, mysterious imagery. This lyrical journey takes as its premise the emergence of the poetic image and finds an ideal metaphor in the intimate spaces of our homes. Guiding us through a stream of meditations on poetry, art, and the blooming of consciousness itself, Bachelard examines the domestic places that shape and hold our dreams and memories. Houses and rooms; cellars and attics; drawers, chests, and wardrobes; nests and shells; nooks and corners: No space is too vast or too small to be filled by our thoughts and our reveries. In Bachelard's enchanting spaces, "We are never real historians, but always near poets, and our emotion is perhaps nothing but an expression of a poetry that was lost."

This new edition features a foreword by Mark Z. Danielewski, whose bestselling novel House of Leaves drew inspiration from Bachelard's writings, and an introduction by internationally renowned philosopher Richard Kearney who explains the book's enduring importance and its role within Bachelard's remarkable career.

For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Polished, Well-Balanced Gift Set with a Refined Scent
This gift set feels thoughtfully put together and well presented. The packaging looks clean and gift-ready without being excessive. The scent profile is balanced and subtle rather than overpowering. Each product feels cohesive as part of the set instead of random add-ins. Texture and absorption are comfortable for daily use. Nothing felt greasy or heavy after application. The set works well for travel or everyday grooming. It’s something I’d feel comfortable gifting without additional wrapping. Overall, it feels polished and intentionally curated.

Excellent products in this gift set
My husband tried a travel sized set of Atwater skin care products and has been really liking them. His skin has improved overall and he finds the routine of using these three basic products very doable and understandable. He always thought his body bar was all he needed for personal cleanliness, so it’s been a big change. The facial scrub and moisturizer combo keeps his skin clean and hydrated. His face looks brighter and smoother. I have noticed that the eye cream has reduced puffiness and under eye bags. This gift set of the same products he has been using only in full size is a great value for the size and quality of the products. He will be thrilled to get this!

Great set of skincare
This set of skincare designed for men comes in an attractive box that is designed for gifting. The products are all high quality. My favorite of the set is probably the eye cream since it’s unscented and is very moisturizing for the eye area even though it’s not a very heavy cream. The face scrub is not harsh but it’s a gentle exfoliating cleanser. The face moisturizer doesn’t irritate my face and absorbs quickly making my skin smooth.
